Full list of players who have earned Protea Colours.

Nathan Anderson - the most 'capped' esports Protea player.

On
Saturday, 15 July 2017 I wrote an article in which a full list
of all people who have earned Protea Colours for esports was published.

The list contains all the names of the players awarded Protea Colours.

Players are once again reminded that there is a difference between Protea Colours and National Federation Colours. The two are very different awards. The full list of gamers who have received Protea Colours for es[ports are:
